Kings Lynn Care Home Residents Get All Shook Up At Cocktail-Making Session

Residents at King’s Lynn Residential care home enjoyed a taste of the exotic as they took part in a cocktail making session at the home on Kettlewell Lane.

Care Assistant and former professional cocktail waitress Elisa Andrade delighted the residents with her professional cocktail making skills – making Pina Coladas, Gin Fizz and Pimm’s drinks. She mixed and shook up the cocktails from behind the ready-made bar at the home before handing them out for resident to try.

Then it was the residents’ turn. Barbara (Babs) Thornton-Lane,86, had a go at making the cocktails, commenting on how nice they smelt and how cold the shaker was. Another resident, Betty Scully, 96, said how much she enjoyed them: “I loved the pina colada, such a lovely treat on a warm day – keep them coming!!”

The residents then voted for their favourite and the clear winner was the pina colada.
